VPN requires client software which is almost certainly not present on the Fire. The only solution is probably router-based VPN where you get a router that acts as a VPN client so that any wireless client connected to it uses the VPN.

I have my DDWRT router VPN connected but still unable to get it work for Kindle. It is strange that when I check my ip-address in PC with cable connected to router, it shows a US location. However, in Fire or other Wifi devices, it still showing my Hong Kong ip-address.

You will need to change the wireless settings to Static and then modify the DNS settings. I have done this successfully. Try unblock-us.com Works a treat and you dont need to touch your router. I now run my PC and Iconia and Fire on these settings and there is no degradation to speed.

i have a US vpn option set up on my network through a dedicated ddwrt router. i am told that this broadcasts a "US" wifi signal and all devices will be regarding as accessing a US network. i haven't set up a kindle yet *under the tree...) but i spoke to the firm that supplied the router and they say kindle works with it. haven't got around the US credit card problem yet mind you but i gatherecan buy gift card from non US amazon site and and redeem it on US site ?

It works an absolute treat and is super simple to setup on the Kindle Fire.

I used the free trial and immediately bought a years subscription.

The only drawback is that you need to manually input your il address and dns settings

as their service works by a clever dns server trick.

This is definitely the way to go.

I will try setiing my whole network dns to point to their dns servers later so I can switch the kindle back to using dhcp but till then it works perfectly. :-)

Undoubtedly the best solution.

This looks interesting, and I kind of wish I was taking a trip out of the country to test if it would work. Is there anything different about setting it up on the Fire that doesn't appear on the Android Set-up page? http://support.unblock-us.com/custom...rticles/291571
